Hi there..
I have the t-mobile G2 TOUCH, hero that is, and I cant seem to find out how I could change the ringtone for my notifications.
The thing is. When I change it like it should normaly work, it keeps on giving me the lousy and way to loud t-mobile notification sound.
when i receive a mail it does give the chosen sound, but when i receive a text message it gives me the **** t-mobile tone again.
I did i guess everything i could (to getting the maps on the root for ringtone, alarm and notifications. I can see the files, but like i said before, i only hear them on my email receiving and not my text messages.
anyone familiar with this problem and if so, got an answer, or should i go back to the store and swap the fone now it is still possible...
thnx
The message tone is different to the notification tone. Go to messages - menu - settings - sound and change it there.
you most definetly are my hero
alsmost returned the poor thing haha
i never guessed that nor would i have found that one!
many thanks
Your welcome

I don't think this does what you want though. Doesn't it stop when you press ignore? I can't think of it right now. Maybe you just want any button to do this, but then you couldn't answer. Maybe explain this one more.
I think hes talking about the same issue im having with my phone. Actually I have two different issues that are somewhat related...First, i think he's talking about the text message ringer. For example...if i set a ringtone to my text messages(songs that is) and i recieve a text message, there is now way to shut the ringer off...it just keeps playing and playing and vibrating and vibrating....the only thing that will make it stop is a power down or soft reset.....whats even weirder is if i recieve a text message while the first message is ringing it plays the ringtone a second time in the background...so not only can i not stop the first one but there a second one that i cant stop either...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!....now for the second issue....i downloaded mring for my phone and it allows me to stop the problematic ringer from before by pressin any button on my phone (GREAT!!!!!!!!) no, not great...when i set my text messages to ring and vibrate it rings, but no vibration occurs...and if i have it on vibrate only...it doesnt vibrate either....at first i thought it was problem with my phone, but the vibration on telephone calls works fine...it's only text messages...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!!! if anyone can fix the problem im having with mring that would be great cuz i want to continue using that program seeing as how i purchased the product and now that im having that problem its basically useless...

hi i am fairly new too this stuff and what i think is happening for the first issue may not be happening.....but only a professional can correct tht....when a txt message ringtone plays it basically plays the whole song or ring..before it stops....it almost as if when u recieve a text message windows media player launches in the background and just plays till the end....but it dose not do that for phone calls because any musical content or data service is stopped the second you recieve a phone call...as for the vibration issue i have no idea what too tell you oon that...but what u can try is use small sound files as ringers tht way they wont overlap each othereaside from tht i think there is a registery key tht you can change to achive a limited time ring when a text message is recieved....
as for the reg key you will have to search the forms for tht i believe....
What i do is crop my songs / sounds for text messages. I crop them to about 2 seconds or a little bit more and I dont worry about ongoing sounds playing.
Also you can change the settings on your phone to vibrate and ring, ring, vibrate and so one. See if any of those settings are interfering with your notifications.
Ive tried all of your suggestions in the past..the whole reason im using songs as ringtones is so that im aware of when im recieveing a text...if i wanted a 2 second ringer id use a stock one...guess the problem is unfixable...thanks for th input tho
For some reason this only applies to K9 mail
When I get an email, there is no sound notification. At first I thought it was a bug with the sound file I selected (so I got rings extended) and that didn't help. Keep sending/receiving emails and still no sound. I checked my sound settings, there are bars on everything and the phone is not on vibrate/mute
I also got E-Mail notifier thinking a different program could call the sound but it doesn't play it either! What is going on? Stock sound files won't play... is there a problem with my rom? (axura 2.2)
When I click on the sound file it previews properly. Notifications work properly with sms. Not sure what is going on, any ideas?
Ok I must be brain fried but for the life of me I cant find the setting to get a Sound alert that I have a voicemail. Can anyone tell me how to set up a sound alert for voicemail??
it should be whatever you have set for notifications.
All I can find is the blinking indicator for voicemail messages. I can have audible alerts for text and email but I just cant find the one for a Sound alert on a voicemail message ARGH
I'm probably not much help, but I noticed a nice simple beep beep after I installed the youmail voicemail app. Not sure if it was there earlier.
Sent from my MB860 Atrix using XDA App.
Check your sound settings. Whatever you select as "notification sounds " is what you will hear when you receive a voicemail
yeah it' the general sound notification. there isnt one specific for voicemail. it'll share the sound whatver you set it to.
This may be something really simple or not but when someone sends me a mms i get a beep telling me ive received a message but its still downloading so i get another beep once its downloaded and shown. Anyway of turning that first notification off? Im getting annoyed picking my phone up and then waiting, id rather it just downloaded and then gave me one notification.
Im using handcent but happens on stock too. Is it a feature? Cos i cant find a way of turning that first notification off.
anybody?..
